1 4.5 What I Want! Language & Culture Lessons In this lesson, we'll discover how to request for things whether it be something you would like, need or want. These particular phrases are essential when traveling as you will always be asking for things whether you would like it, need it or want it! Language Lesson What I Want! When you re traveling, you often find yourself having to ask for a lot of things. Perhaps you need a phone, or want a drink, or need help. Therefore it s important to know how to say I would like, I need or I want in German. I would like The most polite way to request something in German (like a cup of a tea, or a certain dish at a restaurant), is by saying Ich möchte bitte I would like please I need... You may also need to express what you need. You may need an extra towel for your hotel room, or two tickets instead of just one. To tell someone what you need, you ll say Ich brauche I need I want... Finally, you can also say what you want by using the phrase Ich will I want You may want to go to the museum, want to buy something or want to take some photos. Keep in mind that ich will is quite a direct way of expressing what you want. Even though Germans tend to be quite straight forward, it s still not appropriate to use ich will in every situation. When people want to ask you what you d like, need or want they ll use the same words in a slightly changed form. Remember, they can either use the polite or more familiar way of addressing you. What would you like? Was möchten Sie? Was möchtest du? What would you like? (formal) What would you like? (casual) What do you want? Was wollen Sie? Was willst du? What do you want? (formal) What do you want? (casual) What do you need? Was brauchen Sie? What do you need? (formal)

2 Was brauchst du? What do you need? (casual) Ich möchte is the most polite way of expressing a request. Ich will is a very direct way of expressing what you want. Use it when you really want to make a point or around peers. Use ich brauche to express what you need, for example Ich brauche Hilfe (I need help). Use the same words in a slightly changed form when asking someone else what he or she would like, wants or needs. For Example: Ich möchte bitte einen Kaffee. Ich will eine Pause machen. Ich will ein Foto machen. Ich brauche einen Regenschirm. Ich brauche noch ein Handtuch. Ich möchte bitte etwas zu trinken. Ich brauche Hilfe. Ich will heute ins Museum gehen. Ich möchte gerne mit dir sprechen. Ich will noch länger in Berlin bleiben. I want to have a break. I want to take a photo. I need an umbrella. I need another towel. I would like something to drink, please. I need help. I want to go to the museum today. I would really like to talk to you. I want to stay even longer in Berlin.
